Pickering Interfaces (Clacton-on-Sea, UK) has introduced the PI-MXT90-100 test tool that identifies faulty relays on its complex PXI switching matrices. The diagnostic tool uses a test adaptor and a ...

Electromechanical components such as relays and switches often must undergo endurance tests that verify their reliability and safety. Regulatory standards typically have compliance criteria that ...

Testing relays is both an art and a science. As relay technicians inevitably learn in the field, pure theory-based understanding of protective relays is not nearly enough for the real-world situations ...

The small, lightweight PTE-50-CE is the ideal instrument to test overcurrent and over/undervoltage protective relays, among many other applications. The reversible 100-VA amplifier can inject up to ...

Proper selection and effective testing can increase contact reliability in the end product while reducing the overall cost of using relays. Who said relays are pass�? While electromechanical relays ...

Pickering Interfaces is lowering the cost of ownership of switching systems with the introduction of its eBIRST diagnostic test tools. The eBIRST tools, designed specifically for Pickering Interfaces’ ...

Electronic relays have evolved a lot since their introduction in the early '30s, but their basic purpose hasn't changed. Transistors and integrated circuits have replaced vacuum tubes and the term ...
